Technical Data
An Industry Standard for over fifty years.
A Servo-Tek DC tachometer generator provides a convenient and economical means of converting rotational speed into an isolated analog voltage signal suitable for remote indication and control. While this catalog contains information on our most popular models, we also manufacture countless special tach generators.

Linearity

Linearity at any speed is better than 0.1% of the output at that RPM.

Bidirectional Operation

Construction

Most of our DC tach generators are housed in aluminum casings protected in accordance with Mil-C-5541 or Mil-A-8625 or high performance plastics. Alnico permanent magnets are used. Armature shafts are stainless-steel, and rotate on fully shielded stainless-steel ball bearings. Commutators are manufactured from an alloy containing at least 90% silver. Armature laminations are wound with Isomid insulated wire, over Teflon slot insulation. The entire armature is then baked, resulting in a NEMA Class H insulation system.

All Servo-Tek tachometer generators operate in either rotational direction. That direction can be determined by output voltage polarity. Output (in either direction) is held to a tolerance of 0.25% of the average output.

SB-740A-2

Stability

Optimum brush and commutator combination gives 0.1% stability. Highly stable output gives no evidence of long-term drift.

Breakdown Voltage

Servo-Tek DC tachometer generators are factory tested with an AC potential of 1250 volts RMS applied for one second between (either) terminal and shaft. E-Series units are tested with 500 volts.
DA-7533A-2

Ripple

Temperature Range

The ripple RMS value will not exceed 3% of the DC value at any speed in excess of 40 RPM on standard units. On the low ripple units, the ripple RMS value will not exceed 1.5% of the DC value. A peak to peak ripple of 1.5% is available on some models.

Most of our DC tachometer generators are designed for continuous operation in ambient temperatures ranging from -55C to +100C. Voltage output at 25C will not deviate by more than 0.01% per degree of change within the range of -20C to +75C. All units are temperature compensated, with the exception of D-Series and E-Series tach generators.

D-Series Tachometer Generators

With rugged construction and high output voltages, the D-Series tach generator is ideally suited to a variety of industrial applications. The flange mounting arrangement provides a convenient assembly method, and the sturdy .187 shaft diameter permits the heavier loading frequently encountered where pulleys or belt drives are employed. The output bearing is fitted with a seal to help prevent the contamination that can occur in industrial applications. With output up to 50V/1000 RPM, D-Series generators are ideal for applications where high output voltages are required. Typically, these are slow speed applications.

E-Series Tachometer Generators

The E-Series DC tachometer generator is the smallest tach generator among those offering similar technical characteristics. Many outstanding features make it particularly suitable for use in all types of servo systems. Although the diameter is only 0.760 the E-Series provides up to 3 V/1000 RPM output. Almost any Servo-Tek DC tachometer generator can be manufactured with special configurations, various electrical specs and shaft modifications such as flats, pinions, holes, etc. Consult sales department regarding your special requirements.

CS-7514F-51C and SA-7356F-1

SB-7483H-1

F-Series (1-8 volts/1000 RPM)

Servo-Tek low ripple DC tachometer generators satisfy the need for a cost effective, very low ripple tachometer. In addition to being the first economical low ripple units of their type, the F-Series tachometers incorporate all the desirable features of the standard units such as temperature compensation, long brush life, excellent linearity, and small dimensions. The ripple voltage does not exceed 1.5% RMS and 3.5% peak to peak at any speed in excess of 40 RPM on any F-Series, H-Series or J-Series DC tachometer generator.

H-Series (5-16 volts/1000 RPM)

The H-Series DC tachometer generators are low ripple units possessing all the same traits as the F-Series, but with the B-length armature. This means a slightly higher output voltage.

J-Series (16-30 volts/1000 RPM)

The J-Series DC tachometer generators are low ripple units possessing all the same traits as the F-Series, but with the D-length armature. These generators are ideal for applications where high output voltages with low ripple signals are required. Other shaft sizes and mounting configurations are available.
